"To run a 64-bit version of Windows, your computer must have a 64-bit-capable processor. To find out if your processor is 64-bit-capable, do the following:


1.
Open Performance Information and Tools by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Performance Information and Tools.

2.
Click View and print details.

3.
In the System section, you can see what type of operating system you're currently running under System type. Under 64-bit capable, you can see whether you can run a 64-bit version of Windows. (If your computer is already running a 64-bit version of Windows, you won't see the 64-bit capable listing.) "

Well, I imsgine you'd only need a mainboard and processor, and maybe some extra ram, but if you can get access to a 64 bit machine on campus, without getting arrested.........

yep, i may recieve a 64 bit computer soon, or ill go on campus this week, there's always staff theyre who'll let me in.

im thinking of the profile though. and how its typically formed with materials. Its sort of an "I" beam near the bulge. Aerodynamic flutter worries me most.

Ive got a tail rotor section on the way. 21 US$, did a lot of research, 450 and 500 were too small, 600 size seems right 700 seemed excessively heavy duty, like a M1A1 battle tank.

its belt driven and ill be setting up a 3D printed gear on a electric motor to test it all.

for the tail, im thinking of using tilting vanes like the V2 rocket, instead of tilting the whole prop disc.

Solid carbon sounds like a good starting point, if going for low disc loading and thin blade section.

Alternatively, two 'skins' and a re-inforcing beam epoxied between might be suitable.

Have you got the software tunning yet?
